Behold  a  stranger  at  the  door,  36

Come,  thou  fount  of  every      .  11 

Come  to  Jesus,  come  to  Jesus,  6 

Come,  ye  sinners,  poor  and    .  18

^np  IS  a  story  oft  repeated,  but  it  never  can  grow  old, 
-^    The  story  of  the  blood  that  makes  us  clean ; 
'Tis  the  sweetest  story  ears  have  heard  or  lips  have 
The  blood  of  Jesus  cleanseth  from  all  sin.  [ever  told, 

Cho. — Able  to  save  to  the  uttermost, 

He  offers  us  cleansing,  and  oh,  it  is  free ! 
Wondrous  salvation !  it  saves  even  me ! 
Washed  in  the  blood  of  the  Lamb. 

2  How  it  rings  through  earth  and  heaven,  sung  by  ran- 

somed choirs  above, 
Who  by  its  power  o'ercame  and  were  made  clean ; 
How  'tis  echoed   by  the  pure  of  earth,  saved   by  re- 
deeming love; 
The  blood  of  Jesus  cleanseth  from  all  sin. 

3  As  I  listen  to  the  message,  how  it  thrills  me  with  de- 

The  fountain  now  is  open — enter  in  ;  [ligbt ; 

Whosoever  will  may  venture  in  aud  wash  his  gar- 
ments white ; 
The  blood  of  Jesus  cleanseth  from  all  sin. 

4  Then  why  should  I  tarry  longer?   Jesus'  call  I  will 

I  come,  I  wash,  the  promised  rest  I  win,         [obey; 
I  will  trust  his  power  to  keep  me  clean  each  moment, 
every  day ; 
The  blood  of  Jesus  cleanseth  from  all  sin. 

5  0  this  wonderful  salvation — praise  the  dear  Redeem- 

It  reaches  me,— his  praise  I  must  begin  ;    [er's  name! 
This  my  greatest  joy,  with  all  the  saved  forever  to 
proclaim, 
The  blood  of  Jesus  cleanseth  from  all  sin.

■pJTOVER  o'er  me,  Holy  Spirit ; 

—       Bathe  my  trembling  heart  and  brow, 
Fill  me  with  thy  hallowed  presence, — 
Come,  oh,  come  and  fill  me  now. 

Cho. — Fill  me  now,  fill  me  now, 

Jesus,  come  and  fill  me  now  ; 
Fill  me  with  thy  hallowed  presence, — 
Come,  oh,  come  and  fill  me  now. 

2  Thou  canst  fill  me,  gracious  Spirit, 

Though  I  cannot  tell  thee  how ; 

But  I  need  thee,  greatly  need  thee; 

Come,  oh,  come  and  fill  me  now. 

3  I  am  weakness,  full  of  weakness ; 

At  thy  sacred  feet  I  bow ; 
Blest,  divine,  eternal  Spirit, 

Fill  with  j)owerj  and  fill  me  now. 

4  Cleanse  and  comfort,  bless  and  save  me; 

Bathe,  oh,  bathe  my  heart  and  browj 
Thou  art  comforting  and  saving. 
Thou  art  sweetly  filling  now.

nV/TY  soul,  in  sad  exile,  was  out  on  life's  sea, 
-^-*~  So  burdened  with  sin,  and  distrest,     [choice: 
Till  I   heard  a  sweet  voice,  saying,  make  me  your 
And  I  entered  the  "  Haven  of  Rest !  " 

Cho. — I've  anchored  mj^  soul  in  the  haven  of  rest, 
I'll  sail  the  wide  seas  no  more ;  [deep, 

The  tempest  may  sweep  o'er  the  wild,  stormy 
In  Jesus  I'm  safe  evermore. 

3  I  yielded  myself  to  his  tender  embrace, 
And  faith  taking  hold  of  the  word, 
My  fetters  fell  off,  and  I  anchored  my  soul ; 
The  haven  of  rest  is  my  Lord. 

3  The  song  of  my  soul,  since  the  Lord  made  me  whole, 
Has  been  the  old  story  so  blest 
Of  Jesus,  who'll  save  whosoever  will  have 
A  home  in  the  "Haven  of  Rest."

4  How  precious  the  thought  that  mq  all  may  recline, 

Like  John  the  beloved  and  blest, 
On  Jesus'  strong  arm,  where  no  tempest  can  harm,— 
Secuie  in  the  ' '  Haven  of  rest."' 

5  Oh,  come  to  the  Saviour,  he  patiently  waits 

To  save  by  his  power  divine  ; 
Come,  anchor  your  soul  in  the  haven  of  rest, 
And  say,  "my  Beloved  is  mine."

f  I  THOUGH  troubles  assail,  and  dangers  affright, 
-^     Though  friends  should  all  fail,  and  foes  all  unite, 
Yet  one  thing  secures  us,  whatever  betide, 
The  xjromise  assures  us,^the  Lord  will  provide. 

Cho. — Yes,  I  will  rejoice,  rejoice  in  the  Lord, 
Yes,  I  will  rejoice,  rejoice  in  the  I  ord, 
Yes,  I  will  rejoice,  rejoice  in  the  Lord, 
Will  joy  in  the  God  of  my  salvation. 

2  The  birds,  without  barn  or  storehouse,  are  fed ; 
From  them  let  us  learn  to  trust  for  our  bread, 
His  saints,  what  is  fitting,  shall  ne'er  be  denied, 
So  long  as  'tis  written, — the  Lord  will  provide. 

3  When  Satan  appears  to  stop  up  our  path. 
And  fills  us  with  fears,  we  triumph  by  faith ; 
He  cannot  take  from  us,  though  oft  he  has  tried, 
The  heart-cheering  promise, — the  Lord  will  provide. 

1  He  tells  us  we're  weak, — our  hope  is  in  vain: 
The  good  that  we  seek  we  ne'er  shall  obtain : 
But  when  such  suggestions  our  graces  have  tried, 
This  answers  all  questions, — the  Lord  will  provide, 

f)  No  strength  of  our  own,  nor  goodness  we  claim ; 
Our  trust  is  all  thrown  on  Jesus'  great  name : 
In  this  our  strong  tower  for  safety  we  hide ; 
The  Lord  is  our  power, — the  Lord  will  provide. 

6  When  life  sinks  apace,  and  death  is  in  view, 
The  word  of  his  grace  shall  comfort  us  through : 
Not  fearing  or  doubting,  with  Christ  on  our  side, 
We  hope  to  die  shouting, — the  Lord  will  provide.

T  AM  dwelling  on  the  mountain, 
-*-    Where  the  golden  sunlight  gleams 
O'er  a  land  whose  wondrous  beauty 

Far  exceeds  my  fondest  dreams. 
Where  the  air  is  pure  ethereal, 

Laden  with  the  breath  of  tlowers, 
They  are  blooming  by  the  fountain, 

'Neath  the  amaranthine  bowers, 

Cho. — Is  not  this  the  land  of  Beulah, 
Blessed,  blessed  land  of  light, 
Where  the  flowers  bloom  forever, 
And  the  sun  is  always  bright  ? 

2  I  can  see  far  down  the  mountain. 

Where  I  wandered  weary  years, 
Often  hindered  in  my  journey 

By  the  ghosts  of  doubts  and  fears, 
Broken  vows  and  disappointments 

Thickly  sprinkled  all  the  way, 
But  the  Spirit  led,  unerring. 

To  the  land  I  hold  to-day. 

3  I  am  drinking  at  the  fountain, 

Where  I  ever  would  abide ; 
For  I've  tasted  life's  pure  river, 

And  my  soul  is  satisfied  ; 
There's  no  thirsting  for  life's  pleasures, 

Nor  adorning,  rich  and  gay. 
For  I've  found  a  richer  treasure, 

One  that  fadeth  not  away. 

5  Oh,  the  Cross  has  wondrous  glory . 

Oft  I've  proved  this  to  be  true ; 
When  I'm  in  the  way  so  narrow 

I  can  see  a  pathway  through ; 
And  how  sweetly  Jesus  whispers : 

Take  the  Cross,  thou  need'st  not  fear, 
For  I've  tried  this  way  before  thee. 

And  the  glory  lingers  near.

And  sprinkles  now  the  throne  of  grace,

Eeceived  on  Calvary ;

"  Nor  let  that  ransomed  sinner  die."

And  tells  me  I  am  born  of  God.

3  Heavy  laden,  care-oppressed. 

Wont  you  love  him  too  ? 
How  he  longs  to  give  you  rest, 
Wont  you  love  him  too  ?

4  Cast  your  burden  at  his  feet, 
Wont  you  love  him  too  ? 
There  is  pardon  pure  and  sweet, 
Wont  you  love  him  too  ?

^  I  ^HERE'S  a  stranger  at  the  door,  let  him  in, 
-^    He  has  been  there  oft  before,  let  him  in, 
Let  him  in  ere  he  is  gone, 
Let  him  in,  the  Holy  One, 
Jesus  Christ,  the  Father's  Son,  let  him  in, 

2  Open  now  to  him  your  heart,  let  him  in,    ' 
If  you  wait  he  will  depart,  let  him  in ; 

Let  him  in,  he  is  your  Friend, 
He  your  soul  will  sure  defend, 
He  will  keep  you  to  the  end,  let  him  in. 

3  Hear  you  now  his  loving  voice?  let  him  in, 
Now,  oh,  now  make  him  your  choice,  let  him  in. 

He  is  standing  at  the  door, 
Joy  to  you  he  will  restore. 
And  his  name  you  will  adore,  let  him  in. 

4  Now  admit  the  heavenly  Guest,  let  him  in, 
He  will  make  for  you  a  feast,  let  him  in, 

He  will  speak  your  sins  forgiven, 
And  when  earth  ties  all  are  riven. 
He  will  take  you  home  to  heaven,  let  him  in.

^nniS  so  sweet  to  trust  in  Jesus, 
-^    Just  to  take  him  at  his  word  ; 
Just  to  rest  upon  his  promise ; 

Just  to  know,  "Thus  saith  the  Lordy' 

Ref. — Jesus,  Jesus,  how  I  trust  him ; 

How  I've  proved  him  o'er  and  o'er; 
Jesus,  Jesus,  precious  Jesus ! 
O  for  grace  to  trust  him  more. 

2  O,  how  sweet  to  trust  in  Jesus, 

Just  to  trust  his  cleansing  blood; 
Just  in  simple  faith  to  plunge  me 
'Neath  the  healing,  cleansing  flood. 

47 


3  Yes  'ti«  sweet  to  trust  in  Jesus, 

Just  from  sin  and  self  to  cease ; 
Just  from  Jesus  simply  taking 
Life,  and  rest,  and  joy  and  peace. 

4  I'm  so  glad  I  learned  to  trust  thee, 

Precious  Jesus,  Saviour,  Friend ; 
And  I  know  that  thou  art  with  me, 
Wilt  be  with  me  to  the  end.

A     BEAUTIFUL  land  by  faith  I  see, 
-"^^  A  land  of  rest  from  sorrow  free : 
The  home  of  the  ransomed,  bright  and  fair^ 
And  beautiful  angels,  too,  are  there. 

Cho. — Will  you  go?  will  you  go? 

Go  to  that  beautiful  land  with  me? 

Will  you  go  ?  will  you  go  ? 
Go  to  that  beautiful  land. 

2  That  land  is  called  the  City  of  Light; 
It  never  has  known  the  shades  of  nightj 
The  glory  of  God,  the  light  of  day. 
Hath  driven  the  darkness  far  away. 

3  In  vision  I  see  its  streets  of  gold. 
Its  gates  of  pearl  I,  too,  behold, 
The  river  of  life,  .the  crystal  sea, 
The  ambrosial  fruit  of  life's  fair  tree. 

4  The  ransomed  throng,  arrayed  in  white. 
In  rapture  range  the  plains  of  light ; 

In  one  harmonious  choir  they  praise 
Their  glorious  Saviour's  matchless  graces
